Hi Kelly,
Thanks so much for sharing your story. As difficult as it may be, this is something we as parents are preparing ourselves for from the moment they take their first steps. I will be strong and never let them see me sweat, lol

Thanks Beth:)
It’s not easy but one we must all encounter as parents. She knows she is always welcomed back home but it’s time for her to leave the nest and start a new phase of her life..:)

I can feel your pain mama! My oldest daughter has been out on her own now for a little over two years. Believe it or not, I actually spent more quality time with her once she moved out. She came over for dinner, and often times during her lunch hour from work. She didn’t have Internet in her apartment so she would come by and use my computer. I actually got to spend more time with her.

Now don’t get me wrong, it broke my heart when she went out on her own. I worried about things like, did she have enough food in her fridge, does she get lonely at night, is she safe, etc. Fortunately, she lives on the 3rd floor in a townhouse community with a guard gate, so that alleviated some of my fears.

Just to remind her that she’s still my #1 daughter, I buy Walmart gift cards and send it to her in the mail. That way I’m not just handing over cash, but giving her something that she can really use to buy food, laundry detergent, etc.

You’ve done a fantastic job in raising your daughter, now it’s her time to spread her wings and live her dreams. Of course, us moms are always in the background with safety net ready to catch them at any given moment.

Great topic! Thanks for sharing.

I am right there with you. Our oldest got married this past weekend. She chose to live at home until then. Although we knew it was coming for sure the past 2 years, it is still very hard. We to have 5 children, girls that is. The next one is 20 and will be doing the same thing in the next 1-2 years.

I feel the same way you do about the more you have the easier it is to let them go. After this weekend and the feelings I am experiencing, i only hope I am still sane after the last one leaves. Thankfully that will be a

Hi Tanya!
Thanks for stopping by my site and sharing your thoughts.
Yes, it is definitely bittersweet to see our children grow and then to support their decisions to move out and begin another stage of their lives. I’m ready and I’m also sure she will be coming over a lot! She’s already told me that she will be calling every night for at least a week:)

What a lovely post – that brought up such mixed emotions for me, and my twins are only just coming up 9! I think you’re taking such a great approach, and I definitely think of that quote – if you love someone set them free.
You sound like you have such a loving close family, I’m sure they will always want to come back often to reconnect.
I wonder sometimes too, how does the time go so fast. My biggest challenge I think will be that because my girls are twins, they will likely leave home at the same time – a double whammy. Gulp – pass the tissues!
It helps to know that all us Moms are in the same boat, and there to support each other

From the moment you play peek a boo with your children you are preparing them for this moment of independence. My son is 17 and we have been looking around Universities with him last week. It’s all about transition and handling change positively but it’s not easy. I work with lots of parents finding the empty nest syndrome painful and that’s why it’s important to always keep your own life going, your interests, your hobbies and your relationships with friends, partners and family. This transition can also be a wonderfully fulfilling time too as we enter a new phase in our own lives – and try new things. It’s also about having a new adult relationship with our kids which sounds fun too.
As always I believe it is all about OUR mindset and attitude that will determine how we see it and more importantly how our children see us. It can be a time of growth all round.

Wow! You are such a strong woman and I’m sure have many reasons to be proud of your daughter- but I know I will be a hot mess when my boys are ready for this stage (which is coming soon)…Glad to have you as someone to look up to and watch as someone who has been there!
